Food - Menu and pictures look great but reality is disappointing. Meat tends to be chewy or hard to manage (pig ears?, 2 chicken wings). Vegetable is always blanched with no flavor. Soup is always light broth. Keep in mind most residents are old; either with dentures or few teeth left. Their in-house dietician also happens to be Head of Maintenance, Head of Care Manager, Director of Operations -- she lacks understanding ofwhat senior residents' dietary needs are. Staff - care managers: 50% are good and caring. Management folks care more about selling care points rather than helping/working with you to effectively manage your love ones' issue; especially if your love ones have some form/level of dementia. Facilities - Very nice looking facility. Clean with well managed gardents. The hallways are wide and well lit which is very nice. So, this place looks good. Values: If you just look at the rent, it is not bad. It is the care fees that get you. Care fees are base on service points, all care services are a-la-cart. So, It doesn't take long before your care fees become more than rent. Activites - Thay claim their TaiChi has prevented falls. Their standing taichi exercise is offered everyday but only 5 minutes of it where most residents are sitting down. Afternoon activites is ok but gets old pretty quickly. They used to take more residents for Monday outings; but after pandemic, they've reduced the number of residents (limited to about 6 residents) and often time they select which able-body residents to take.

Aegis Gardens is great for Asians. They speak Asian, and the staff members are really good. It's just their community fee is over twice as much as everywhere else I saw. The studio apartments were OK. It's very comfortable and it felt a little homey. Their food looked fantastic. They have three chefs: one who is Shanghainese, one from Hong Kong, and one chef who is Cantonese. They have Chinese calligraphy, arts and crafts, and exercises. It's a very nice facility.

Aegis Gardens was very clean, and the staff was friendly. The organization and maintenance of the community was very good. They had private rooms, but it was very expensive. We were looking for something semi-private for my father, but they did not have that available. It is a very good place but too pricey.

The people at Aegis Gardens are pretty good. They have Chinese-speaking staff and serve Chinese food. Mom has one-on-one caregivers as her companions who are keeping her engaged all the time.

Aegis Gardens’ seems really nice and large. They have both memory and retirement. They have games, field trips, and bingo -- very organized. Everyone has a room and bathroom, but it’s really large, I think my dad would get lost. If someone is still active, that would be a great place. The staff was very nice, always smiling. They have a menu and make food for the oriental people.

My mother is in a studio in Aegis Gardens. This place is very unique because it's all Asian, so they have a tremendous advantage because my mother does not speak English. They have Chinese food, an Asian menu, and Asian staff. I don't like the food, but that's just a personal opinion. They have exercises, mahjong, and bingo. The downside is it's extremely expensive.

About Aegis Gardens in Fremont, California
Aegis Gardens in Fremont, CA, is a unique senior living community, dedicated to the Asian culture, offering assisted living and dementia care. Located close to shopping and medical centers, those who call Aegis Gardens home will feel enveloped in the Asian culture through the interiors, landscaping and excellent Asian cuisine. Aegis Gardens features 46 assisted living apartments and 18 Life's Neighborhood apartments.
When the Fremont community opened in November, 2001, Aegis was heralded as one of the first companies to provide assisted living with an authentic Asian experience for its residents. An all-Chinese advisory board helped identify what would be important to a community of Asian seniors, and what cultural significances the project would need to address. Feng Shui consultants advised architects and builders on the layout and design of the community. All 40 staff members at Aegis Gardens are of Asian descent and speak various Chinese dialects.
